We show that, in $ u_mu Nto mu^-Lambda X$ at the NOMAD energies, it is impossible to separate the products of the fragmentation of the struck quark from those of the nucleon remnant. The latter has a large contribution even in the current fragmentation region and has to be taken into account in calculating $Lambda$ polarization using different pictures. Based on this, we make a rough estimation for the longitudinal $Lambda$ polarization in $ u_{mu} N to mu^- Lambda X$ at the NOMAD energies. A comparison with the data is given and predictions for $ u_mu Ntomu^-Sigma^+X$ are presented.

We present a measurement of the polarization of Antilambda hyperons produced in nu_mu charged current interactions. The full data sample from the NOMAD experiment has been analyzed using the same V0 identification procedure and analysis method report ed in a previous paper for the case of Lambda hyperons. The Antilambda polarization has been measured for the first time in a neutrino experiment. The polarization vector is found to be compatible with zero.

The Lambda and Lambda-bar polarizations in muon neutrino charged current interactions have been measured in the NOMAD experiment. The event sample (8087 reconstructed Lambdas and 649 Lambda-bars) is more than an order of magnitude larger than that of previous bubble chamber experiments, while the quality of event reconstruction is comparable. For the Lambda hyperons we observe negative polarization along the W-boson direction which is enhanced in the target fragmentation region: Px(xF < 0) = -0.21 +- 0.04 (stat) +- 0.02 (sys). In the current fragmentation region we find Px(xF > 0) = -0.09 +- 0.06 (stat) +- 0.03(sys). A significant transverse polarization (in the direction orthogonal to the Lambda production plane) has been observed for the first time in a neutrino experiment: Py = -0.22 +- 0.03 (stat) +- 0.01 (sys). The dependence of the absolute value of Py on the Lambda transverse momentum with respect to the hadronic jet direction is in qualitative agreement with the results from unpolarized hadron-hadron experiments. The polarization vector of Lambda-bar hyperons measured for the first time in neutrino interactions is found to be consistent with zero.
In this paper, we study the low energy kaon-hyperon interaction considering effective chiral Lagrangians that include kaons, $sigma$ mesons, hyperons and the corresponding resonances. The scattering amplitudes are calculated and then we determine the angular distributions and polarizations.
Neutrino oscillation is the only known phenomenon for physics beyond the standard model. To investigate this phenomenon, the understanding of low energy neutrino scattering (200<E<2000 MeV) is the crucial task for high energy physicists. In this ener gy region, the charged current quasi-elastic (CCQE) neutrino interaction is the dominant process, and experiments require a precise model to predict signal samples. Using a high-statistics sample of muon neutrino CCQE events, MiniBooNE finds that a simple Fermi gas model, with appropriate adjustments, accurately characterizes the CCQE events on carbon. The extracted parameters include an effective axial mass, MA=1.23 +- 0.20 GeV, and a Pauli-blocking parameter, kappa = 1.019 +- 0.011.
We evaluate both the tau lepton energy loss produced by photonuclear interactions and the neutrino charged current cross section at ultra-high energies, relevant to neutrino bounds with Earth-skimming tau neutrinos, using different theoretical and ph enomenological models for nucleon and nucleus structure functions. The theoretical uncertainty is estimated by taking different extrapolations of the structure function F2 to very low values of x, in the low and moderate Q2 range for the tau lepton interaction and at high Q2 for the neutrino-nucleus inelastic cross section. It is at these extremely low values of x where nuclear shadowing and parton saturation effects are unknown and could be stronger than usually considered. For tau and neutrino energies E=10^9 GeV we find uncertainties of a factor 4 for the tau energy loss and of a factor 2 for the charged current neutrino-nucleus cross section.
